{Date #7}

The background story--We met online. We actually hadn't talked a lot at all. Like only a few days, and not even on the phone. Which sometimes its nice going into a first date not knowing a lot. But he was on top of things and Thursday night asked if I wanted to go to what by far has been the nicest date so far this year(which looking back people doesn't say much) but I agreed and he made reservations and said we were set. :) I had never been to the place so I was at least excited for a nice dinner.


The guy--
Age: 28
Job: Software Developer
What he wore: A plain Vneck tee and okayish jeans and nice shoes. (I have to say, for the place we were going to, he could have dressed a little bit nicer...)

The Date-- So like I said I was impressed going into the date with in choice of place! He was on time, so there was no awkward waiting on my part. I hate that on first dates... So we got sat for dinner right away because he made reservations. And at first it was kinda awkward, like I couldn't figure out why, and there was not first spark going, so I was a little worried on how the night would go...BUT luckily he was a gentlemen and suggested if I wanted a glass of wine to get one, and he made the point to say totally on me. (like he was picking up the check) So I had my glass of wine and I started to feel a little more at ease and we got into good conversation, so much so that we were really slow at ordering appetizers and food. And speaking of food, lets be real this is the fun part of going on a date, the food was AMAZING. Ummm yum! So back to the date! So really good conversation, we talked about our jobs, our hobbies, about living with people, about where we grew up and lived. We really covered a lot of stuff. AND THEN...we finished eating he paid for the check and we were still talking and I had mentioned I guess in the night about church or my small group just dropping it in conversation and he asked me if I would say I was a religious person...although I must say I hate that word religious, I said yes...I mean I go to church and have a belief system. And then he said well just to be honest with you I am a atheist....BUM BUM BUUMM. Yea so that was interesting....and actually we had a really GREAT discussion on what I believe in some what and I told him about where I go to church, and he said his boss who is also a atheist takes his family to crossroads, and he had thought about checking it out. So although I don't think hes Mr. Right, I truly believe there was a reason we met. I listened and did not judge him for what he believes. Because that is not my place to do that, and he said at one point he really respect that I wasn't judging him because a lot of people that are religious do. Not to make this so churchy, but how is it that the people that are suppose to be showing love are the ones who are really showing hate. Do I agree with what he believes? No, but I am not God, I don't have the place to tell him what he believes. Just like I wouldn't want him to push his beliefs on me, I am not gonna do the same. So it was a great discussion and he walked me to my car, in the snow and hugged me good bye and said he had a great time and we should do this again maybe next weekend. So we will see if he contacts me...

5 things I learned about him--
1. He LOVES to cook.
2. After college he moved to Colorado for a few years to change up life.
3. He only has one sister.
4. He moved to cincy when he was 8.
5. He has had a lot of crazy roommates, but now lives alone.

The verdict--
Like I said I don't think he is Mr. Right. But I would totally go on another date with him. I have no idea what he is really looking for. But if nothing else we have another great night of good conversation. So we will see what happens...

BTW I am already a 4th of the way done with my goal of 26 dates...and its only Feb.
OH and speaking of FEB, Valentines Day is Tues, and how is it I have been on 7dates and still have no Valentine....lame!
